This conquest of the physical world has caused the spiritual world to recede. This is why Theosophy is now stepping in to replace the rampant materialism with something spiritual. In the past, the various religions taught according to the needs of the individual peoples. Today, materialism has enveloped the entire globe; therefore, the spiritual must also embrace the whole world. Mankind on earth must become a spiritual whole. This is the goal of Theosophy. Just as people understand each other everywhere in the material world, just as a check passes through the whole globe as a common currency, truth and wisdom should become common currencies everywhere. That people everywhere learn to understand each other and exchange their thoughts as a cheque is exchanged for money, that is our goal – and that is why the call for brotherhood among people is the first that the Theosophical Society makes. The last few centuries have conquered temporal goods. Culture has added layers to the earth's crust that bear witness to its evolutionary process. Only in the uppermost layers do we find human remains. Millions of years further on, and everything we are working on now will also form a layer around the globe and provide a uniform cultural history. Theosophy works for the future, in which not only the material, but also the eternal, the immortal, will embrace the whole universe. That is why it places such great value on the core of brotherhood.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"XXXVIII.

Diese Eroberung der physischen Welt hat die geistige zurücktreten lassen. Jetzt tritt deshalb die Theosophie ein, um den überhandnehmenden Materialismus durch etwas Geistiges zu ersetzen. Früher haben die verschiedenen Religionen in den einzelnen Völkern je nach deren Bedürfnissen gelehrt. Heute hat der Materialismus den ganzen Erdball umsponnen; es muss also auch das Geistige den ganzen Erdball umfassen. Die Erdenmenschheit muss ein geistiges Ganzes werden. Dies ist das Ziel der Theosophie. Wie im Materiellen die Menschen sich überall verstehen, wie ein Scheck den ganzen Erdball als gängige Münze durchläuft, sollen überall Wahrheit und Weisheit gängige Münzen werden. Dass sich die Menschen allerwärts verstehen lernen und ihre Gedanken austauschen wie den Scheck gegen Münze, das ist unser Ziel - und darum die Forderung der Brüderlichkeit unter den Menschen, die erste, welche die Theosophische Gesellschaft stellt. Die letzten Jahrhunderte haben zeitliche Güter erobert. Die Kultur hat Schichten auf die Erdmasse getragen, welche von ihrem Entwicklungsgange Zeugnis ablegen. Erst in den obersten Schichten findet man Menschenreste. Millionen Jahre weiter und alles, was wir jetzt arbeiten, wird ebenso eine Schicht bilden um den Erdball und eine gleichförmige Kulturgeschichte abgeben. Für die Zukunft, in welcher nicht nur das Materielle, sondern das Ewige, Unvergängliche das ganze Weltall umfassen wird, arbeitet die Theosophie. Darum legt sie so großen Wert auf den Kern der Brüderschaft.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":228,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/90b/1906-01-10/p041"}],"english":["GA 90b/1906-01-10/p042"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":228,"en_words":254,"ratio":1.11,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.1,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4052,"original_word_count":3695,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Self-Knowledge and God-Knowledge II","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA090b/English/SOL2024/19060110p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
